EDMONTON HOMEBUYERS · HOME INSPECTION COSTS
Looking for a free home inspection in Edmonton?
You still pay the inspector upfront. But if your qualifying mortgage funds through Complete Mortgage Services Inc., I'll reimburse your home inspection or appraisal, up to $600 after closing.
This is a mortgage-related reimbursement, not a standalone free inspection service.

THE SHORT ANSWER
Can you get a free home inspection in Edmonton?
Home inspectors generally charge for their work. SkipTheFees.ca is not a home inspection company and does not send someone to inspect your property for free. Instead, if you're using Dallas Hewitt for a qualifying mortgage through Complete Mortgage Services Inc., you can choose your own inspector, pay their invoice, and receive a reimbursement of up to $600 after that mortgage funds. You can use the offer for an eligible appraisal instead, but not both.

HOW THE REIMBURSEMENT WORKS
Three steps. No guesswork.
No upfront waiver: the reimbursement happens after the mortgage funds.
Choose your inspector or appraiser
Arrange the eligible inspection or appraisal yourself and pay the invoice as normal.
Complete your mortgage
Your qualifying mortgage must fund through Complete Mortgage Services Inc. Keep your paid invoice.
Send your receipt
After funding, forward your receipt. Dallas reimburses the eligible cost, up to a maximum of $600.
Conditions that matter
- One eligible home inspection or one appraisal, not both.
- Maximum reimbursement: $600 per funded mortgage.
- You choose and pay the provider yourself. The expense is not waived at booking.
- The mortgage must actually fund through Complete Mortgage Services Inc.; a mortgage that does not fund is not eligible.
- Keep the paid invoice and provide it after closing to claim the reimbursement.
